Here's a few more quick Bitcoin security tips -

To get the client, you need to put your name down to join the Beta Testers group. I beleive that the eMu presale will be kicking off on the 1st of December, for 1 month.

I'm wondering about this too. Wide spreads and loads of slippage are also not helping.

Anyone playing around with this, don't forget to give LocalService appropriate permissions over the Bitcoin directory.

I also picked up a bunch of shares with BTC left unfilled from the Labcoin IPO 

I'd much prefer option 2: "Announce time for trading start and leave the rest to the community - People pay a value higher than initial IPO price and start to outbid". Let the market decide.

True, I think this just happened a few moments ago.

Just broke the 7m mark.

If you don't have a clear take on the market, one option might be to scale in. You could invest 50% into BTC and keep the rest in USD. I find that when I'm 50% in the market, it takes away some of the worry around needing to pick the right market direction (if the price goes up, I get some USD paper profit, if it goes down, I can choose to expand my Bitcoin holdings). Also, in your shoes, I'd probably hold off a week or two before doing anything as we seem to be on a knife edge between a bull and bear market. I think we may have more clarity in a few weeks. You could also look at putting a small percentage into dividend yielding stock denominated in BTC, check out the securities section of this forum and maybe seek some recommendations.

Can the Havelock admins look at lowering the maximum allocation of shares per user for this one?

So you're opening the door @ 2013-07-12 01:00:00. Can you let us know what timezone are the IPO timings are in?

Amazing result. I was close - but no cigar.

That's just under 50 cents a pop, more than triple the price of PPCoin. Still - it's great fun watching a little market spring up so quickly.

$70 just fell.

Thanks for the heads up - many congrats on the Inputs.io launch, BTW.

Incase anyone else is looking into doing this kind of thing, there's a pull request in play - https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/2121.

Great post - I'm seeing exactly the same thing.

Seeing lots of resistance around 50, and I think some exponential support might come into play around 30. I'd be really surprised at anything less than $30 - I'm sure it'll bounce around quite a bit on the way down.

Up until the very back end of this month, I felt that there was still a way to look at the charts and feel short term bullish. But IMHO Rampion is right, the technical indicators are now looking distinctly bearish. Like many in this forum, I'm extremely long-term bullish on Bitcoin, and sometimes I find it hard to overrule my emotion and just trade the evidence. If I'd been better at this, I would have moved into cash earlier that I did. The major reason I read the speculation board at least once a day is to get confirmation of the things I'm seeing to help me trade the facts.

Thanks for that - will do.
